The loser who shot those women at that gym was frustrated cuz he
couldn't get any sex. I wonder how ,many other crimes are committed by frustrated losers. If prostitution was legal, I think we'd have a much calmer society. Likewise, many illegal drugs should be totally legal. Pot is mostly harmless but we put people in prison for it, what madness and waste of money. How many lives are lost due to pot being illegal? Cocaine should also be legal for similar reasons. Drug enforcement is a huge business and helps feed the prison- industrial complex. This is not a Liberal vs Conservative issue because both sides have vested interests in keeping the huge drug enforcement industry and prison industry going. It's a case of too many laws and not enough good sense. |

Maybe the legalization of pot would lower the demand for cocaine. Right now you're illegal either way, so folks may be tempted to get the most bang for their illegal buck. It would be interesting to give it a try. -- John H |

Possession of small amounts of pot for personal use should be decriminalized. Same for possession of small, personal amounts of some other drugs. Decriminalized drugs should be sold at low prices by licensed retailers |

It would be easy to agree with legalization until you put it into the perspective of your own children having easy and legal access to cocaine or pot. Long term users of both seem to suffer negative consequences and certain personality types are prone to dependence. We've already got legal alchohol and although very few would want a repeat of prohibition, there is no disputing the high cost to society of alchohol abuse. Do we really want easy and legal access to two more substances with the same potential? |

Any kid right now can probably go out and come back within thirty minutes if you bet them twenty bucks. I don't think it can get any easier to get than it already is. Steve |

I would hope that the taint of serious illegality would discourage at least some people. In the case of cocaine, I think the taint of illegality is a big part of the attraction. The mystique is just about the only reason I can think of for someone to pay $100 a gram for this stuff (usually to get laid). As a drug the powder is really a pretty mild thing. It is certainly a heart stimulant but if you snorted pure caffeine (or smoked it) I imagine the effect would be similar. I also think the problem is addictive personalities, not the drug itself and you would actually end up with about the same number of people addicted to something, no matter how many different chemicals were around. I do know a lot of abusive drunks who are less danger to society when they just smoke pot. As our friend a Federal prosecutor told me. We have not slowed down the import of drugs over the years. And they reason we know that is the price has not risen. Supply is keeping up with demand. So we might as well tax and regulate the trade. |

DrugMart Drug-O-Rama The Drug Stop Last time I smoked Pot was in 1981 and have never even held a cig in my hands. I stopped pot cuz it started having truly weird effects on me. I'd have severe disorientation and then pass out after a single toke. Last time was on a cross country ski outing in WY in '81. We all took a puff and took off, me last. Next thing I knew they were digging me out of 8' of powder snow. I'd disappeared and all they could find was the tip of my ski sticking out. Every now and then when I smelled it I'd think it would be nice but cannot take the chance. Last month, I found a bag of buds in my sons desk. I knew he smoked but told him I never wanted it in my house. Him and I flushed it down the toilet although it sure seemed a waste. |
